About Aburi Botanical Gardens

Best for Families first-time visitors nature lovers photographers quiet experiences weekend visitors

Aburi Botanical Gardens is one of the Eastern Region’s easiest and most rewarding first stops. Set in the cooler Akuapem Hills, it gives visitors a gentle nature break without travelling too far from Accra.

The gardens work well for families, first-time visitors, photographers and travellers who want a relaxed introduction to Ghana’s plant life, hill scenery and colonial-era garden history. It also pairs naturally with Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm, Aburi Craft Village or Asenema Waterfall for a soft Eastern Region day trip.
